[Comprehensive martial arts] Beautiful as me

Since the capital city is at the foot of the emperor, it has always been heavily guarded. The riot outside the restaurant lasted for a long time before the arrival of the guards of the capital city came to an end.In front of the well-equipped guards, the remaining assassins saw a bad opportunity and directly left their dead and wounded companions to escape. The abandoned assassins simply bit the poison sac in their mouths, leaving no one alive.

The leading young official ordered a few words loudly, and the imperial guards were divided into several teams and searched in different directions.With the assistance of the imperial guards of the capital, the well-trained guards of the Hou Mansion took the opportunity to take a break.

On the surface, Di Qinglin was injured, so the restaurant couldn't stay any longer. After nodding to greet the court officials who led the army, Di Qinglin took a pill in front of everyone, barely suppressing the spread of black air on his face. , let Li Yuexu help him into the spacious compartment.And the young court official led a team of imperial guards, and personally escorted the Houfu convoy back on horseback.

Even though he knew that Di Qinglin's appearance of being poisoned was deliberately faked, after closing the door of the carriage, Li Yue showed concern and did some treatment for the former's trauma.

There were all the corresponding emergency items in the carriage. Li Yue skillfully tore off Di Qinglin's outer shirt, and wiped off the outer layer of blood with a clean silk handkerchief. When she picked up the medicine to treat Di Qinglin's wound, the latter who had been silent Suddenly pinched the acupuncture point on her wrist.

The sudden severe pain made Li Yue's eyes go dark. She raised her head slightly to look at Di Qinglin. The blackness on the young master's face had not yet receded, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead again. He said hoarsely:

"The medicine is poisonous... Did you inject the poison?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then frowned. She always felt that the young master was planning something again, so she replied without changing her expression:

"Since there are no other people in this carriage, and people outside can't hear what we are talking about, you might as well tell me, Young Master, how long you want to perform, lest I know nothing and ruin Young Master's performance." Good thing."

Master Di Xiaohou didn't reply, he clearly didn't believe Li Yue's argument, the other hand of Xiaohouye had shown a short thin knife, although the severe pain caused by poisoning slowed down his speed, but also It made his heart even colder, and he stabbed the blade towards Li Yue's heart without hesitation.

People can always explode with power beyond their imagination between life and death, and Li Yue is no exception. The moment Master Di's thin knife pierced Li Yue's skin, she instinctively swung her palm and slapped him. The Tanzhong point in the middle of the chest.

Within a breath of time, Master Di Xiaohou finally let go of Li Yue's hand, his face still had an expression of disbelief and cruelty, and he fell softly backwards.

The girl who saved her life subconsciously kicked away the thin knife in the hands of the young man in white, and quickly opened the distance between herself and the latter. When she could no longer hear the breathing of the other person in the carriage, she took a few deep breaths. Calming down, he slowly moved himself in front of Master Di Xiaohou again.

The sound of breathing had indeed disappeared, and Li Yue was still worried that this mighty man who held everything in his palm would be defeated so easily by her.She first took the pulse of Lord Di Xiaohou, diagnosed that the other party had no pulse, then raised her hand and waved in front of the other party's eyes to confirm that the other party's pupils could no longer enlarge and shrink with the change of light, and then she let out a long sigh of relief.

The blood oozing from the wound of Lord Di Xiaohou has long since solidified, and its color is a strange jet black. His cheeks and lips, which are usually bloodless, are also bruised and purple, and dirty blood is flowing out from all seven orifices. His whole body appears to be poisonous and dead Mutually.

However, before getting into the carriage, when Li Yue was holding Di Qinglin close to her body, she clearly felt that Di Qinglin was just acting as if he was poisoned, but his body was still very healthy. The young master who had always been well-prepared died.

Recalling Di Qinglin's previous questioning, Li Yue picked up the small porcelain vase containing the wound medicine and looked at it carefully. She first kept a distance, and slowly raised the wind with her hands. If there was any peculiar smell, she then pulled out the ivory-patterned silver hairpin in the bun and stirred it in the porcelain bottle. When she took out the hairpin, there was no discoloration on it.

No matter how Li Yue verified it, she could only come to the conclusion that there was a special wound medicine in the porcelain bottle. Since Di Xiaohou was dead, there was no point in further research, but he shouldn't die outside the Hou's mansion. It was how Li Yue was able to bring Di Xiaohou's body into the Hou's mansion smoothly.

It will probably take more than an hour on the road from the restaurant back to Yiwaihou's mansion, and the corpse spots and rigor will appear during this period of time.It was not yet noon at this time, even if he returned to the Hou's Mansion, it would be bright, and the corpse spots could be covered up with rouge and gouache in the carriage, but if rigor appeared, it would not be a good end.

Not to mention the court guards who moved with the chariots and horses, just the people in the Hou Mansion with their own thoughts are enough to give Li Yue a headache.If people found Di Qinglin's death without waiting for Bai Yujing or Bai Xiaosheng to come to support him, Li Yue would definitely not be able to argue with it.

Although Li Yue really wanted to take the life of the young master, it didn't mean she was willing to fall into the public eye for such a scum, especially when Xue Bing was still in the residence.Li Yue was unwilling to gamble with her friend's life. While wiping the blood on Di Qinglin's face, she quickly thought about how to escape.

Now that the convoy is heavily guarded, and there are court guards on the side, it is obviously impossible to expect another assassin or someone to make a surprise attack and give Li Yue a chance to fish in troubled waters. I can pull others into the water with myself.

So... who to choose?

Slightly opening the window of the carriage, Li Yue took the opportunity to observe the surrounding people and horses. His eyes flicked over those who were either on horseback or on foot, and finally fell on the accompanying son of the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion.

The choice of this young man was not a sudden whim of Li Yue's. The girl had bumped into him several times in the courtyard of the Hou's Mansion. On weekdays, he looked not much different from other servants of the Hou's Mansion. If there was any difference, it was him. There is a father who is smart and knows how to abide by his duties. Both his father and son have the same surname as the head of the family, but he is not as quiet and self-contained as he appears.

At least within the scope of what Li Yue could observe, she had seen the son of the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion secretly look at her several times with eyes that did not conform to the current status of the two of them. The little marquis still wanted to make her nauseous.

Halfway through the journey, the convoy suddenly stopped. Li Yue pushed aside half of the door curtain of the carriage and looked forward. It turned out that another wave of guards from the Hou Mansion who had been summoned rushed over. It happened that two imperial guards who left the team also came After catching up with the convoy from behind, he whispered something to the leading court official. The official waved his hand, and the imperial guards retreated to the center of the capital in an orderly manner, while the young court official walked near the carriage.

Di Qinglin's body had been laid out by Li Yue long ago, and the spots on his face were also covered by makeup. It seemed that Di Xiaohou was reclining softly and closing his eyes because of physical discomfort, but if he looked carefully, he could still It was found that his chest did not rise and fall.

Fortunately, the imperial officials accompanying him were not as high-ranking as hereditary first-class Hou. He just seriously reported some scenes at the foreign exchange of the carriage, and did not directly lift the curtain of the car.Naturally, it was impossible for Young Master Di to give any response to the former. Through the gap, the young official could vaguely see a beautiful woman smiling apologetically at him.

These princes and princes who walk around Mazhangtai are used to arrogance, and it is very common not to take an ordinary court official with a reckless background in their eyes. The young man did not comment on this, nor did he get angry, but raised his hand respectfully. With a salute to Master Di Xiaohou, he decisively led his subordinates to leave.

After the young official left, the son of the steward of the Hou Mansion rode his horse to the side of the carriage, leaped up to the shaft and called out to the young master twice. Because he didn’t get a response, he was about to call out a third time with his head down, when he glanced up at the hazy carriage. Inside, there was a pure white jade hand beckoning at him gently and seductively.

The butler's son hesitated for a while on the shaft, but still bent down to enter the compartment, his eyes slowly moved up along the instep, and the first thing that came into his eyes was Di Xiaohou who was lying on his side with distorted facial features, followed by The teary-eyed peerless beauty was clinging to the wall of the carriage, while Di Xiaohou Ye's close-fitting soft sword was falling on the other side of the carriage.

Noticing that there were only two people breathing in the carriage, the young man's heart began to pound wildly. He suppressed the corners of his lips that wanted to rise, and asked the beauty in a threatening low voice:

"Say, what's the matter with the young master?"

The beautiful girl seemed to be overly frightened, she couldn't make a sound when she opened her mouth, she just covered her face and shook her head desperately.The young man said, "Young Lord, please forgive me for being impolite." He cautiously moved towards Di Qinglin's body.

After touching the coldness that is not what a living person should have, and the dead silence on the side of his neck, the young man confirmed the death of Di Xiaohou. throat:

"It was you... who murdered the young master."

The girl shrank her body back, raised her face to look at the young man, a tear slowly slid down the corner of her eye, and fell on the blade of the sword along her chin.The more dark and dangerous the environment is, the more the girl's thrilling beauty is highlighted. The young man's eyes are changing, and he finally reaches out and lifts the girl's chin:

"Be obedient and don't make any other noises. I guarantee that after your wedding day, you will still be the first-class Mrs. Hou."

Hearing this, the girl nodded tremblingly, showing no signs of resistance. Her reaction pleased the young man. The latter was about to touch the girl's face when other people's voices sounded from outside the carriage.

This voice undoubtedly calmed down the steward's son. The young man who had been interrupted from his "Ya Xing" frowned, spat silently, immediately put away his soft sword, gave the girl a warning look, and then left the carriage with a normal expression. .

After the convoy resumed normal driving again, the butler's son did not appear in the carriage again, and the fear gradually faded from the girl's eyes.

The girl played with the throwing knife hidden in her sleeve with a blank face. The silver sharp blade fluttered up and down between her slender fingers like a butterfly. It looked dangerous and deadly. Anyone who saw it would understand it. It was not the girl who was killed, but the young man who thought he was in control of everything.

Half an hour later, the sky was still bright, the team of people and horses all entered the Hou's mansion, the carriage stopped outside the lobby, and eight boys in white clothes with martial arts came over carrying a soft sedan chair with draped veils on all sides.The butler's son stepped into the carriage respectfully, helped Di Qinglin up with the girl, and placed the young master on the soft sedan chair.

After such a long time, Master Di Xiaohou's body has become stiff. From the carriage to the soft sedan, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Di Qinglin didn't move much, and he almost floated by.

However, the Hou Mansion is used to a strict hierarchy, and the servants would not dare to look up at the master if no one ordered them to do so. In addition, the clothes on the girl and Di Qinglin were ankle-length, and the housekeeper's son was there to help. Except for the two people who knew it well, no one discovered that the master of the Hou Mansion on the soft sedan chair had turned into a cold corpse.

The girl and Master Di stayed on the sedan chair, and the housekeeper's son accompanied the sedan chair. The eight boys in white clothes carried them all the way to the door of a bedroom where Master Di often stayed. As usual, they went forward and helped Di Qinglin into the house with the girl. They didn't close the door, but the rest of the servants bowed their heads and left the room obediently.

As soon as Di Xiaohou's body was placed on the bed, the butler's son no longer suppressed the arrogance and excitement on his face. He kept pacing with his hands behind his back, then suddenly turned around and grabbed the girl's wrist tightly, carrying With a disgusting smile on his face, he bullied the latter to press the latter on the soft bed, and his other hand was impatiently preparing to tear the girl's clothes.

Judging from the current situation, the butler's son was sure that the girl would not resist, but he didn't expect that before he touched the girl's skirt, the old butler's suppressed angry shout sounded behind him:

"What the hell are you doing, you bastard? Do you want to kill yourself? You have so much courage!"

When the butler's son turned his head, he was surprised to find that not only his father appeared at the door, but also a doctor from the Hou's mansion who was surprised to break the secret. He let go of the girl's hand and stabbed the doctor to death with a sword without thinking. The butler was about to speak, but the young man spoke first:

"Father, Di Qinglin's surname is Di, and you and I are also surnamed Di. Why does this waiting mansion belong to Di Qinglin, not you and me?"

"you you……"

"Don't be careful, father, Di Qinglin is dead."

The old housekeeper quickly adjusted his emotions after a long time of trouble. He ignored the existence of the girl, and carefully went forward to examine Di Qinglin's body. Fading from the face of the old housekeeper, he stroked his beard and straightened his back:

"Don't worry... don't worry... this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

"Father, right now is the right time for us to take advantage of the right time and place. Things have come to this, and if we procrastinate, new troubles will arise instead."

"You are still young, don't be too impatient."

The old butler comforted his son. When he looked at the young girl, his eyes were a bit vicious. He walked up to the young man and patted the latter meaningfully on the shoulder:

"It's not a bad thing for young people to be greedy for new colors, but it's a pity that the current situation... this woman can't be kept, power, wealth and femininity, you have to make a choice. You have to remember that since ancient times, those who have achieved great things have never No fuss."

The girl clutched her skirt in horror, and slowly backed away. The young man glanced at the girl, struggle appeared on his face, and finally he gritted his teeth and said:

"Father, don't worry, the son understands."

The young man took a few deep breaths, watched the girl raise the soft sword, and the old butler nodded in satisfaction, but the next moment, the young man pierced the old butler's chest with a backhand sword, and when he drew back the soft sword, the old butler He fell headfirst to the ground, and there was a muffled sound when the body landed on the ground.

Looking at the carpet that was gradually stained dark red and the dead body, the young man pulled out a piece of white gauze from the wall and wiped the blood stained on the sword casually. He said with a sneer:

"Father is right. Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. For the sake of glory and wealth, let alone female sex, the relationship between father and son is nothing. Father, you are old, and you should go to the Lord of the Underworld to spend your old age in peace. This waiting for the mansion to pick you up The rest of the time, let the son do the hard work."

After wiping the soft sword, the young man walked towards the girl like a normal person, obviously wanting to continue the unfinished business.The girl looked at the young man who shot at her own father for the sake of power and wealth, as if she saw the evil ghost Shura crawling out of hell. Her slender body trembled, and her whole body looked precarious, as if she had completely given up resistance.

Seeing this scene, the young man spat in his heart with disdain, but still did not stop his steps, and the next moment, he saw a silver light flying out from the girl's long sleeves, and at the same time, all the redundant emotions Disappeared from the girl's face, leaving only indifference and silence on the girl's face.

The young man wanted to speak, but he could only make a hoo hoo sound. He raised his hand to touch his throat, and touched a large piece of viscous, warm scarlet liquid. Looking at his red hands, he plopped down on his knees. On the ground, there was no more sound.

In less than a cup of tea, there were three dead people in the room.

Until he passed away, there was still a trace of disbelief on the young man's face. Li Yue watched him fall beside his father with cold eyes. The pools of blood under the two of them gradually merged together. murmured in the room:

"When are you going to... see the show?"

As soon as the girl finished speaking, four men in black quietly appeared in front of her, while Bai Yujing and Bai Xiaosheng walked in through the main entrance openly.After the people in black bowed to Li Yue and saluted, they began to clean up the corpses and blood in the house.Li Yue took out the small porcelain bottle of wound medicine used by Di Qinglin from his arms, and threw it to Bai Yujing:

"Is it the same group of people who did it during the day and poisoned Di Qinglin?"

Bai Yujing sniffed the small porcelain bottle, exchanged a glance with Bai Xiaosheng, and immediately shook his head. The latter stepped forward and pressed several acupoints all over Di Qinglin's body, and a lot of dirty blood flowed out from the seven orifices of Master Di Xiaohou.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaosheng stabbed Di Qinglin's chest with a knife, and when he raised the handle again, his expression changed:

"It is indeed Di Qinglin, but his internal organs have all turned into blood. This method of death does not seem to be poisoned, but rather like being eaten by the southern border Gu insect."

"It's no wonder I can't smell the smell from the wound medicine... The Gu worms used to save my life turned out to be life-threatening charms in the end."

Looking at Di Qinglin's body, Bai Yujing vaguely recalled his old friend.Sitting on the round stool, Li Yue sighed, and said to the two of them calmly:

"I'm not interested in knowing what you guys are going to do next. After the finishing touches are over, please send Xue Bing home. In addition... if there is news that my acquaintances are coming to Beijing, please stop them if you can, but you can't." Those who block it...please also tell me."

"There is news about a person right now, I think you must be very interested."

"who is it?"

"Li Xunhuan."

Less than half a day away from the capital, the big wedding day is just tomorrow, but Li Xunhuan is not in a hurry, he is wearing a pair of old clothes and a pair of dusty boots, like an ordinary traveler Like walking into the teahouse next to the official road.

Compared with the previous two days, there were not many Jiang Hu people in the teahouse. After all, most of those who received the invitation had already booked inns in the capital, and those with a little reputation had also found suitable accommodation in the capital. Those who are capable but want to fish in troubled waters can only make do by finding a place to settle themselves in the suburbs.

Li Xunhuan does not belong to any of these people. To be precise, he is the first-class wife of the future. Unfortunately, there is no reluctance or expectation on his face to marry off his daughter. Instead, he is calm as if A calm sea.

No one knows that there is a volcano that is about to erupt under the sea.

Shaking a cup of turbid soup, this well-known Tanhua Lang sat alone in an inconspicuous corner of the teahouse. conversation.

Among these gossips, there are many unreliable ones and very few useful ones. Only veterans in the world can find the existence they really need.

Li Xunhuan is undoubtedly the best among them. Just as he searched for the information he needed and was about to get up and leave, a young man in a black shirt and a high ponytail sat down uninvited opposite him. The moment he saw the boy's face, Li Xun Huan sat down again unobtrusively.

The young man poured himself a cup of tea familiarly, frowned after taking a sip, then said to Li Xun Huan with a smile:

"Uncle, you are also here to watch the fun in the capital?"

"There are a lot of excitement in the capital, I don't know which one you are watching, little brother?"

"Of course it's the hereditary first-class prince—Master Di's excitement. I heard that the girl he is going to marry is not only stunningly beautiful, but also has an incredible background. Do you know who her parents are?"

As if aroused by the young man's words, Li Xun Huan's eyes were also filled with a smile, and he responded very cooperatively:

"Since you are well-informed, little brother, why don't you introduce one or two for me?"

Clearing his throat solemnly, the boy gestured at Li Xun Huan:

"There have been a lot of rumors in the world, and now there are a few more reliable theories."

"One is that this future first-class Mrs. Hou is the daughter of Shi Guanyin and Chu Liuxiang."

"Secondly, there is news that she is the daughter of Bai Yujing and Shi Guanyin."

"The third one shows that she is the daughter of Shen Lang and Shi Guanyin."

"Fourth, she is the daughter of Li Xunhuan and Shi Guanyin."

"Of course, all the above rumors are inseparable from Shi Guanyin, but according to reliable sources, the relationship between the future first-class Mrs. Shi and Shi Guanyin is not harmonious. It was publicly declared that this is his adopted daughter, so there is still a rumor that is closest to the truth in Jianghu."

Li Xunhuan watched helplessly as the young man opened his mouth to talk nonsense, most of the tension and worry in his heart dissipated along with these "rumors". As soon as he touched the wine cup to his lips, he saw the young man wink at him playfully. Eye:

"I heard that, in fact, this girl is the daughter of Shen Lang and Li Xunhuan, and Li Xunhuan, the famous little Li Feidao in the Jianghu, is originally a daughter. If not, why would Shen Lang and Hero Shen stay away from overseas?"

"Pfft--cough-cough-"
